Ryan Lashmar

Niveau 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Valerio Marino opened to 1,000 from middle position and David Dongwoo Ko defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♦9♣7♠ flop leading to the 2♠ turn. Ko bet 2,500 and was called by Marino.

Ko sized down with an 800 bet on the 10♠ river. Marino moved all in, covering Ko who had 31,500 behind. Ko nearly beat him into the pot.

Marino had top pair with Q♦10♣ while Ko had a jack-high straight with J♦9♠ to score a full double up through Marino.
